Back in September, Everyday with Rachel Ray ran a few of my photos of Editor in Chief, Lauren Purcell judging the Philadelphia Vendy Awards from last June.

I’m continuing to think back to warmer times this week with some photos from last summer’s visit to Luna Park in Coney Island with the crew from Google+ Local. I kept my feet on the ground the whole time, but had a great time capturing the fun as folks swung, flew and fell from great heights.

As we pine for warmer times, I’m reminded of an assignment I shot last Spring when I attended the press preview for the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens’ annual Sakura Matsui festival. I was brought in to shoot some press material for the Gardens and it was a perfect day for it. The festival presents both traditional and contemporary Japanese culture with a main stage offering dance performances and another section dedicated to various types of cosplay.

I got to photograph both some examples of both. See more below…

Abandoned blogs throughout the internets are full of posts apologizing for the lack of posts and promising to ‘do better.’ I try to avoid that. At this point, it’s presumptuous to think at that anyone is still following. Still, an eight-month hiatus ought to be acknowledged and, I do plan to take the opportunity of this terrible winter to work on reviving the blog, so if you are out there, check back here soon for more photos and stories coming up.

In the meantime, see my photo tumblr for photos from the streets of Paris and New York.

Last month, Googa Mooga returned to New York and inevitably, pissed off as many people as it pleased. Everyone knows the story by now, so no need to rehash it. I was out there on Saturday covering the event and had a great time.

While I was there to photograph the guests and the food, I couldn’t help but take some behind the scenes photos of the people working the stands that day. Check out the highlights after the jump…

Last week, the folks from Kitchensurfing hired me to photograph Lobster Roller. The event invited friends of Kitchensurfing to the townhouse headquarters in Gowanus to taste and judge four lobster rolls made by competing chefs. The competing lobster rolls, three made by chefs from the Kitchensurfing roster, the fourth made by a team from nearby seafood shop, Littleneck, we’re gorgeous to behold. See photos of the food and fun after the jump.
